Archaeologists revealed over 100 new structures in Peru's Gran Pajatén, transforming our understanding of the Chachapoya civilization. Known as the "people of the cloud forest," this ancient Andean culture was more interconnected than previously thought. Advanced tech like LiDAR was key, preserving the ecosystem while unveiling hidden sites. The newfound structures indicate a sophisticated network linked to other major sites, challenging past concepts of Gran Pajatén as a remote outpost. This marks a pivotal shift in archaeological research in South America!
